Freedom Muffin, Anyone?

I wish the media could just get it straight. When Barack Obama makes a perfectly reasonable statement, like we should unilaterally go into the tribal areas of Pakistan in search of Osama Bin Laden if Pakistan won’t, he is raked over the coals for calling for the invasion of a sovereign nation. As if the same media didn’t bow down before Bush when he did the same thing for less reason in Iraq. Then when Obama insists that he would sit down with nations deemed to be enemies by this administration, without preconditions, something that used to be called statesmanship, he is again raked over the coals for being an appeaser, and giving unnecessary stature to our enemies. I’m sorry to point this out, but even if Kim Jong-Il was wearing a pair of Phil Spector’s elevator go-go boots he wouldn’t gain much stature in this world.
The sad, sorry state of the media in today’s world is, that when this administration finally does get around to dealing with a foreign threat diplomatically, that is a foreign threat with no oil, all they can do is negotiate the same deal Clinton did in 1996. Nobody in the media is willing to point out that this deal Bush has made with North Korea is virtually the same deal in place when he took office and decided not to pay for. Bush again gets a walk for cribbing from someone else’s paper, while Obama gets slapped for actually thinking for himself.
Now, the media is buying the same old dog and pony show from Bush in regards to Iraq. I am surprised nobody has noticed that the British have figured things out in Basra, and no longer have their troops in harms way. What surprises me more is that some conservative on Fox Noise hasn’t already called them surrender monkeys and called for the English muffin to be renamed the Freedom muffin. I guess they figure we are all too busy with the bogus election coverage to notice.
